Europe trip


In a week I am heading off to Europe for two weeks. The first week will be visiting Universities in Paris The second week I will visit University of Freiberg in Germany and then attend a workshop, Quantum Efficiency: From Biology to Materials Science, part of a series Black Forest Focus on Soft Matter, organised by the Freiberg Institute for Advanced Studies.
I am looking forward to meeting a number of people whose papers I have read but not met yet personally. These include Irene Burghardt, Silke Biermann, Michael Thorwart, Graham Fleming, Peter Hamm, Gerhard Stock, and Shaul Mukamel.
Hopefully I will be writing about their work and the trip soon.
